Default what mod gives a noticeable diff. for a DD?

I don't plan on ever taking my car to the track and it is a daily driver for me.
I have been reading about so many people adding I/H/E, but other than adding some dyno numbers, are these "performance" mods\upgrades worth it? Can you actually feel the different with small increases of Hp and Tq?

Is there any non forced-induction mods that is actually noticeable for a non track driver?

short answer i would say is no. unless you're planning on going all out with a full NA build (which can get REALLY costly), than any easy mod you do (I/H/E) will only give you a placebo effect on performance (it "sounds" faster).

I recently installed the TurboXS exhaust and on our HR motors, it is definitely noticeable. Although the "oomph" factor is there, the sound is very appreciable in a daily driver as well.
I will add that the extra power allows the car to start moving from a stop at a lower RPM and the midrange power is most noticeable.
The car is more aggressive when downshifting at highway speeds too.
I notice that when I mod a car, the smile on my face is directly caused by a combination of performance gains, sounds(or sights), and knowing that it is different. It's the whole package that adds up to a euphoric visceral experience.

Swaybars , they should be on the list of mods right next to window tint and the other basics you may do when you first buy a car.

It is obvious I am a noob, and I don't know how to use the search function. Do you know what would be most beneficial to me? What would I search for to find the results that you feel are out there?

What keywords would you use?

Instead of being a jackass and posting the juvenile "use teh Srch no0b" reply, take the time to show someone how by using the search they could have found the reply.

instead of being lazy and cluttering up the forum with the same redundant questions that are asked over and over again, why do you not go to the section you want to mod, then do your own research. ask the questions if you do not understand something. if you would have done that you would have seen this nice, big sticky there

https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/50429-new-350z-owners-read-this-before-doing-any-modifications-to-your-z.html

better yet, maybe you should have read through the top 100 question sticky up top, i am pretty sure your answer is there as well
